Amaqiniso, Amanani, nemibiko
Ekupheleni kuka-2009, isambatho esibizwa ngokuthi i-Environmental Working Group (EWG) yakhipha umbiko wokubeka amadolobha angu-100 ngokwempilo nokuphepha kwamanzi abo. UReno wabizwa ngokuthi yiyesihlanu indawo engcono kakhulu yokuphuza amanzi okupompa esizweni. Okukhathazeka okuyinhloko kwakuyizinga le-arsenic kanye nokugxila kwe-PCE yamakhemikhali, kokubili okushiwo ukuthi kudlula izindinganiso zamanzi zokuphuza eziphethwe ngezikhathi ezithile.
Lezi ezinye izidakamizwa zaqaphela ukuthi zidlula lokho okubhekwa njengemikhawulo enempilo, noma ngabe leyo mingcele ingaphezulu noma ngaphansi kwezilinganiso ezigunyaziwe noma cha. Idatha yale nhlolovo itholakala kumarekhodi wombuso waseNevada wokuhlolwa okwenziwe kusukela ngo-2004 kuya ku-2008 yi-Reno's supplier water, i-Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA). Umbiko wekhwalithi yamanzi we-TMWA u-intanethi kuwebhusayithi ye-EWG.
Iphuzu lika-EWG kubonakala sengathi ngenkathi amanzi ompompi kamasipala angase ahlangabezane nezindinganiso zikahulumeni kanye nesifundazwe, kusengabangela izingozi zempilo ngenxa yamakhemikhali amaningi (21 abikiwe emanzini kaReno) atholakala emanzini aphathwe. U-Reno noLas Vegas (okulinganiselwe ukukhishwa kwesithathu) kungabonakala kubi embikweni, kodwa u-Allan Biaggi, umqondisi weNyada yoMnyango wezokuLondolozwa kweMvelo kanye neMvelo, wavuka wathi, "I-Nevadans ingaqiniseka ukuthi amanzi abo okuphuza aphephile ukuphuza. Ukugxekwa kuka-EWG kufana nokusho ukuthi izidingo zekhwalithi yamanzi azimele.
Kunjengokuthi ukushayela 25 endaweni ye-55 mph kuyashesha kakhulu. "
I-Truckee Meadows I-Quality Drink Yamanzi
Izikhulu ze-TMWA nazo azivumelani kakhulu nombiko we-EWG. UPaul Miller, iMenenja yezokuSebenza kanye neLinga leManzi, ubizwa ngokuthi umbiko "odukisayo futhi ongenakuziphendulela. Akukho ngozi." Lokho akusho ukuthi amanzi ayo okuphuza angama-100% mahhala okungcola - akukho manzi okuphuza omasipala e-United States.
Kodwa-ke, amanzi anikezwa yi-TMWA avivinywa nsuku zonke futhi ahlangana nawo wonke ama-US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) kanye namazinga ezempilo okuphuza amanzi e-State of Nevada. Iya ekhasini lewebhu le-Quality Quality Water TMWA ukuze uthole ulwazi oluthe xaxa.
Awekho amaMithi kuT TMWA Thinta Amanzi
Izikhulu ze-TMWA ziye zaphawula ngendaba yezinhlobonhlobo zezidakamizwa ezitholakale emanzini okuphuza emhlabeni wonke. Imiphumela evela kuma-sampuli athunyelwa ukuhlolwa yanikezela la mazwana emhlanganweni wenkomfa ka-2008, "Idatha ibonisa ukuthi ayikho imithi noma ama-EDC atholakale kumasampula amanzi angapheli noma aqediwe avela ku-Chalk Bluff Water Treatment Plant," kusho uTomwa uPaul Miller. "Akekho kulezi zinhlanganisela ezitholakale emanzini afika esihlahleni esivela eMfuleni iColkee, noma amanzi aphuma esitshalweni esinikezwa amakhasimende ethu." Ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe, iya kwisayithi le-TMWA ukuze ufunde i-TMWA Tap Water ayikhulu yamaMithi.
